Resolutions

A city council resolution is a formal statement or decision made by a city council to express its position on an issue, establish a policy, or address a specific matter within the city's jurisdiction. Resolutions are used for matters that may not require a full ordinance but are still important enough to warrant an official stance. 

Key aspects of a city council resolution:

  • Purpose:

    Resolutions are used to express the city council's opinion, establish policies, or direct further action. 

  • Formality:

    They are less formal than ordinances but still carry weight as an official declaration. 

  • Process:Resolutions are typically drafted, introduced by a council member, debated, and then voted on by the council.
